IMPRQVEMENT in HELD FENCE.

'ro ALL WHOM rr MAY ooNoERN:

Be 'it known thatiI, MARSHAL INGERSOLL, of Elyria, in the county of Lorain, and State oi' Ohio, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Field Fences and I do hereby-declare that the following is a. full and complete description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drnhwing, making a part of this specification.

This fence is constructed of iron, in the manner as shown in the drawing, panel of a line of fence. The posts A of ,this fenee'are of east iron, ground is provided with a foot, B, which-may either b e cast vrith'the pest in one piece, or seperately, and the foot then secured to the post with a key, C. These posts are provided with holes D, more or less, as the number of bars or rails E required for the pnneL-and which are inserted therein and secu keys F. The Ahers lere' supported in the middle by a, tie or brace, thereby prevented from sagging` It will be observed that thewfoot r line of the fence, the purpose'of which is to prevent the fence from being blown over, as the broad surface of the foot, when buried in the ground, will keep the posts in'an upright position, and thus make the fence more secure and durable. Should this fence be used for field purposes, the ,net-work Hi'will not'be needed; Whereas, if used for the garden, it will be required in order to keep out poultry and small animals, die.

What I claim es my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Pntentyis* The fence constructed eend arranged in the manner and for the pu which represents one section or and the end which is projected into the Gr, through which the bars pass, and are rpose substantially as specified.
